Abstract

This study looked into business process re-engineering and organisational survival of block moulding firms in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. This study analyses the effects of work change and technological change on the survival of block moulding firms in Bayelsa State. A descriptive research design was employed. The respondents consist of 164 staff, and a sample of 116 was selected through the Taro Yamani formula. A structured questionnaire was utilised using the Likert scale with five points. A test-retest approach was used to establish the reliability of the tool. The data were analysed using Pearson  regression. The result (r =0.70) demonstrates the substantial correlation between work change and organisational survival. Also, the result (r = 0.72) demonstrated the fact that there is a significant relationship between technological change and organizational survival. The study, therefore, recommends that modern IT infrastructure is necessary for excellence and efficiency.
